A box hidden in the lintel: the built-in shutter box is recessed into the wall so nothing shows from outside — suited to new builds and renovations alike.
In a built-in roller shutter the box sits inside the lintel recess and is plastered over, so nothing of it shows outside — only the curtain and the guide rails. Because the space is reserved during the shell works, it is the least intrusive solution architecturally. Service is reached through the bottom cover of the box, from outside or from inside as the situation allows.
Which to choose between this, monoblock shutters whose box comes on the window frame, and surface-mounted shutters fitted without breaking the facade, is set out in the roller shutter comparison.

A knock-down roller shutter is supplied to installers and dealers in disassembled form, to be assembled on site. Ferrini, as a manufacturer, supplies its dealers with roller shutters this way on a wholesale basis.
A monoblock shutter is a concealed-box system providing heat and sound insulation, while detail and surface-mounted roller shutter systems are other automatic shutter solutions applied with different mounting types.
Ferrini roller shutter systems are offered with a wide range of colour and motor options, and can be remotely controlled with Ferrini-brand motor, control and automation products.
Because the box sits in the lintel recess, the space is left during the shell stage: a recess sized to the project is provided and closed with plaster once the shutter is fitted. The decision to use a built-in shutter therefore has to be made at the building-permit stage.
It does if the recess is left uninsulated. To prevent it, an insulation detail is applied around the box; the dealer carrying out the work plans the recess size and the insulation layer to the project.
Where the box sits and what it contributes to insulation is given for all three systems in the roller shutter comparison.
